William Stafford, a former bartender at Fitzgerald's saloon, was lief ore Justice Kes-- j ler charged with assaulting Keats Woodruff, an Indian. He pleaded not guilty but the evidence was too strong and the court fined 111) and costs. Orr Bell pleaded not guilty tc insulting Mrs. Munsom, a tidy looking lady, on the street Monday night. The circumstances of the case are as follows: While passing the Elks saloon corner Mrs. Munson was accosted by a youth who followed her to the tiodbe-Ritt- s corner, when he made an im-proper proposal. She told him she would call a policeman and he ilew around the cor-ner. As she turned she saw an officer and pointed out young Bell who was wait-ing outside a store for Orange Judd, a son of Judge Judd. The young man disclaimed any knowledge of the occurrence and asked to be permitted to refer to his friend with whom he had just come up the street but the policeman with an almost judicial knowledge of Lis business told him "he could explain in police, court." The young man was very properly discharged, the evi-dence showing him to be incapable of offer-ing an insult to a woman. Had the officer granted him a moment the arrest need nut have been made. ENGLAND WANTS REVENGE British Colonies Seeking; to Retaliate Be-cause of the McKinley Bill. WILL TRY TO FORCE THE ISSUE. An Insidious Attempt Will be Made to llrae ti e i iilteii States into Freer Trade Kelatiun With England. LosTJOX, June 29. Among the important resolutions to be discussed by the chambers of commerce congress is the following: The Winnipeg (Manitoba) board of trade will move: 'That it is the opinion of this con-gress that the time has come, or is close at hand, when the people, of Great Britain can with confidence look to the colonics and dependencies of the empire for that portion of their bread-stuff- s which theT lind uecessary to import from year to year. The rapid of grain production in Canada, India and Australia in the past ten years clearly indicates that these countries will soon have annually an export surplus of grata in excess of the annual import de-mand of the British Isles, and it will be alto-gether unnecessary for the latter to look for subplies to foreign countries, especially to those whose rariif laws are trained as to strike specially at the TRADE IXTEKESTS OF GREAT HKITAIN" and the British colonies : that, this congress sees the best method of secur-ing this end by a system in the mother country of tariff discrimination against grain and other food products ol for-eign nations, and in favor of the imports of such goods from the colonies and depend-encies; and similar discriminations by col-onies and dependencies in connection with the tariff on other goods required to be im-ported by them; that this congress favors such a movement, as it is believed that Its enforcement would serve as a check upon the national selfishness which, at the pres-ent time, seems to inspire many nations in framing their tariff laws that its enforce-ment would prove a commercial counter ir-ritant, which would in comparatively a few years practical 13' FORC1 THE XATIOX5 of the world into a much freer system of trade intercourse than now exists between them. Similar resolutions favoring tariff retalia-tion against the United States were presen-ted by the chambers of commerce of Mont-real, Toronto and Regina, N. W. T. The chamber of commerce of Trinidad. British West Indias, declares that the McKinley law is favorable to the West Indias, and says it is the general feeling that every reasonable effort should be made to retain the L'nited States market as it is the best yet found for their principal staple, sugar. The delegate for the Regina board of trade will offer the following: "Resolved, That the board of trade of Regina, X. W. T. , Canada, would heartily favor the extension of commerce and trade upon the perpetual basis through-out all parts of the British empire and that it would be of the highest collective and individual advantage. Fur-ther that the provisions that any foreign treaty imposing limitations upon the full development of trade between Canada and other parts of the British empire should be at once abrogated. In advocating the above, we wish it understood that while we desire free trade with the British empire, we have no desire to interfere either now or at any time with the fiscal or political liberty at present enjoyed by the col-onies, and we believe if any such scheme could bg carried out in the near.jutureil.. "wxufu be jusi retaliation to the L'nited States for the recent legislation affecting the trade relations of Oreat Britain and Canada with the United States." At the afternoon session of the British chamber of commerce congress, a motion by Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian high com-missioner, declaring a small differential duty should be adopted by Great Britain and col-onies against foreigh imports, was defeated, 7'.' to 34. Sir Charles challenged the vote. Another ballot will be taken tomorrow. . Ie Mores Must Fight Again. Faius, June 29. Captain Cremiuy. Foa, the Hebrew who, a short time ago, fought a duel with Edward; Drumont, editor of the Libee Parole, because of attacks on the jews in that paper, intends to fight a duel with the Marquis de Mores after the latter's trial for the killing of Captain Mayer in a duel a few days ago. The Marquis de Mores has been provisionally released from custody. UTAH COMMISSION, The House Provision Abolishing the Com-mission Struck Out of the Bill by the Senate; THE COMMISSION TO LIVE.

The Louse provision abolishing the Utah commission was struck out of the bill, and two items appropriating 83,1500 for salaries of five commissioners ud the expenses of the commission wre Inserted. Jones or Arkansas was the only democratic senator who Toted in the affirm-ative; the republican senators who voted in the negative were Carey. Felton and War-ten- . Carey moved to reduce the salaries of the commissioners from fSOOO to $2000 and poke in support of the amendment and in favor of applying it to the survey of public lands, $15,000 to be thus saved. The amend ment was also fayored by Felton and Sher-man and was agreed to. The salaries of the commissioners are therefore fixed at $2ouo each. The vote on the silver bill and amend-ments was ordered taken at 2 p.m. Friday. CHANGE IN TIME. Thm Vulon Pacific' Card Which Goes in-- I to Ell'e-- t Jaly S. The Union Pacific is now working an ex-- f tensive change in the time card, effective July ."J, the most important change of which is the departure 'o their limited fast mail, which, on and after the 2nd, will leave Salt Lake at a. m. instead of 0 a. m., as at present, and will arrive at Denver at the same time as on the present schedule, 7:05 a. in., making the run in twenty three hours and rive minutes. A local train will also leave Salt Lake for Ogden and intermediate points at (1:4:0 a. in. , instead of 7:30 a. m., and the Butte, Portland j and Cache valley train will leave at 10:05 a. in. instead of 9:20 a. m. The Park City and Cache valley local train J will leave as at present, 3:30 p. m. The Butie and Portland express will ar-rive at Salt Lake at 9:iu a. m. Instead of S:30 a. m. The Cahe valley and Park City train wili arrive at 10:50 a. rn. instead of 10:45 a. m. The. Pacific express from all points east will, arrive at Salt Lake at 12:40 p. m., in- - s';ad of 12, noon. The locai train lor Eureka and Juab will leave at the same time as at present. 7:30 a. in., but an additional train for Eureka wili leave Salt Lake at 4:25 p. m., I.ehi Junction, 5:40 p. m., and arrive at Eureka at 7:40 p. m. Returning, this train will leave Eureka at 7 a. m., Lelii Junction at S:45 a. m. , and arrive at Salt Lake at 10 a. m. This gives the public two through trains each way between Salt Lake and Eureka. The local train from the south wiH ariive at 10 a. m., instead of 0:10 a. m., still mak-ing connection with the north bound train, winch, it will be seen, does not leave here until 10:05 a. m. The afternoon train from tlie south will arrive at 0:10 p. m., instead of 8:40 p. m., but early enough to connect with the north bound train, which will not leave here until 0:30 p. m. With these changes the Union Pacific will have by over two hours the fastest train between Salt Lake and Denver. Telegraphic Matters. Advices from Omaha indicate that no set-tlement of the difficulty between the Union Pacific and its operators will be reached be-fore the middle of July. L. II. Korty, the superintendent of tele-graph, before whom the proposed new schedule must first be made, is now on the Pacific coast and will not return before, the last of July. President Clark is also wend ing his way westward to join his conferee, and his return is indefinite. With these heads cf departments absent, action upon the request of the delegation is out of the question. J. B. Sheldou, chief dispatcher at the Union Pacific headquarters in Omaha, says : "I am one of the old-tiin- e telegraph oper- ators and heartily in sympathy with the rder of Railway Telegraphers. It is a well-know- n fact that the wage paid operators on the Union Pacific are considerably in advance of those paid by other western roads and very much in advance of eastern systems. We try to give our employes all the latitude possible, and treat them as human beings, not as animals. We do not work our men unduly, and are careful to keep good men when we have them. 1 have no doubt, how-ever, that the deputation to Omaha will be treated with every consideration, and if their demands are at all conservative they will be granted. There is little prospect of a strike." silver or paper, shall stand upon an equality before the law for all purposes ; that the coinage of both metals shall be free." The speaker continued, urging the government ownership of railways and telegraphs and the election of the president and and secretary of the United States by a direct vote: the extension of the presiden- tial term to six years with no successive term; the suppression of monopolies and continued: '"The legal- ized liquor traffic for beverage purposes is the greatest monopoly which ever existed. It destroys 150,000 lives, costs $1,500,000,000 annually, sends misery, poverty, crime and heartache broadcast among the people. Its product is democratic and republican rule, and is a damning blot upon civilization, a sin against (iod and oughi. to be made a crime against humanity and driven from the face of the earth. The prohibition party is the only party that dares to fight this mightiest curse of the world. Here we are and we came to stay. From this hcur let no fusion, no deals, no compromises be our motto. Let our platform be so broad, just, clear and comprehensive that all who love God, or home, or country can join the procession now ready to move on to vic-tory." The speech was frequently inter-rupted by enthusiastic applause. TUB OKFICKKS. A. F. Wolfenharger of Nebraska secretary, and other officers suggested by the national committee were elected. The temporary rules reported by the national committee provided only the delegates present should vote. It was objected that this would disfranchise distant states and after a sharp light the rules were amended to allow delegates pres-ent to cast the full vote of their state. The roll of states was called and the names of members of the. standing committees an-nounced. Pending reports from the com-mittees on credentials and permanent organ-ization the convention took a recess till 4 p. m. IOWA KKPCnUCAKt They Meet In Convention Thin Afternoon to Nominate Candidates. Des MoctfJul, June 20. The republican state convention was called to order by E. E. Mack, chairman of the state central committee. R. E. Haff of Muscatine was made temporary chairman. He made a speech eulogizing the republican party and denouncing Un-democratic, and was loudly applauded. Af ter the appointment of committees a recess was taken. A committee from a state temperance alliance appeared before the committee on resolutions and demanded that the pre-vious declaration on the temperance question be inserted in the platform. On reassembling Senator A. L.Hagcrof Adair county was made permanent chairman. He delivered an address on national issues. Secretary of State McKarland, Treasurei Beeson, and Attorney General Stone will probably be renominated without opposi-tion. The following ticket wa nominated. For secretary of state, W. M.

They are One and Inseparable Labor Can Never Rise While the Saloon Flou-rishesOther I'olitical Points. Cincinnati, June 99. Sincere in the-fai-th that is within them, and tired with energy and enthusiasm to go forward to the goal they have set before them, the advocates of the total prohibition and suppression of the liquor traffic have been gathering here for the past few days preparatory to the hold-ing of their national convention, and at which their standard bearers for president and t will be placed before the country. They are here from every quarter of the continent, from cheerless frigid Maine where the draught that cheers and likewise inebri-ates is tabooed by the law, and where it is as difficult for a stranger to procure his cus-tomary solace, as it is for a rich man to enter the kiugdom of heaven; from the fertile fields of the golden state, the vineyard of the continent, and which of late years has been sending out not only to this country, but to the nations of Europe an overwhelm-ing abundance of that "'which maketh the heart of man glad," and which has become a formidable foe to the monopoly so long enjoyed by the wine-grower- s of la belle Francaise; from the sunny south, where, as p. Kentuckian told the dem-ocratic convention a few days ago, a major-ity of the population TAKE THKIR WHISKY STRAIGHT, from the great northwest which believes in moderation in all things but extremes in none, from prohibition Iowa pro-hibition only in reputation and party plat-forms, from nearly every state and every territory from high licensed towns, and low licensed towns, and local option towns, they are here. All working iu one common cause in the interest, according to the light that is within them, of humanity. There are probably two thousand ac-credited delegates. There are rive times that number of adherents of the cause who have been attracted hither by the event. Some of them, men and women, with their heads plentifully streaked with silver, have devoted the best years of their lives to the promotion of temperance. Among these are Francis Williard, John P. St. John, Mary Eathrop, Colonel George W. Payne of Ken-tucky, Judge Amos Briggs, Gideon Stewart of Ohio, William Jennings Demorest of New York and Samuel Dickey of Michigan. There are also main' young men and women among the delegates, an indication that the rising generation are prepaaed to take up the burder as the grandfathers and grand-mothers are compelled one by one to lay it down. In every detail it is perhaps the most representative assemblage of the opponents of the liquor traffic that has ever been con-vened in this country. SPECI LATIXG OX THE CHANGE. There is a good deal of speculation regard-ing the reasons which induced the national committee to change the place of holding the convention from St. Louis to this city. At the meeting of the national committee held in Chicago in January last, St. Louis was chosen on the twelfth ballot. A couple of months later Chairman Dickey visited that citj-- and informed the local prohibi-tionists that their good fortune wor'd cost them $2500. He told them th?t it o: ght to be twice that figure, but as the executive committi-- didn't want to make money at the expense of St. they would take $2500 and turn over whatever balance might be left into the treasury of the party at large. This, however, did not suit the St. Louis cold water people, and they very bluntly informed the chairman that while they would pay all expenses of the conven-tion they did not propose to raise the money and let the national committee have the handling of it. This proposition was not satisfactory, and so the official call, naming St. Louis as the place of the convention was revoked, and Cincinnati, which had been her chief competitor, was decided upon. These are the facts, although Chairman Dickey will not admit them. How much was of-fered or has been paid by the prohibitionists of this city for the honor of entertaining the convention is treated by those who know as a state secret. THE SALOONS ANT) LABOR PROBLEM. The big Music hall is gay with bunting, plants and flowers, temperance inscriptions, and portraits of Washington, Lincoln, Xeal, Dow and Frances WiUard. When the Sixth national convention of the prohibition party-wa- s called to order by Chairman Dickie of the national committee this morning the proceedings were opened with the hymn of "America" on the organ, the audience rising and joining in the singing. At the conclu-sion Dr. J. G. Evans offered prayer. Rev. Dr. M. C. Lockwood of Cincinnati welcomed the delegates in behalf of tlfb city and state, saying among other things that the organ-ized labor of the country was beginning to appreciate the fact that the labor aud saloon problems are inseparable ; that labor could never rise while the snloon flourished. Prof. Dickie responded on behalf of the delegate-- . He said the prohibitionsts knew precisely what they were here for and ex-actly where they were going and there was no danger of any obstacle that would divert them from their relentless purpose. "We are here," he added, "to put candidates in nomination and keep thein in the field until the polls are closed next November." The allusion to no fusion with the people's party wa loudly applauded. The speaker further declared that the delegates were here to make AX fXEQPIVOCAI, PI ATFOKNf. He closed by naming St. John as temporary chairman. Wild cheering, waving of dags and handkerchiefs greeted the mention of the famous Kansau's name, and was renewed as he stepped on the plat-form and assumed the gavel. Governor St. John thanked the convention for the honor of being invited to preside over the greatest and grandest convention in sobriety, moral force and brain power ever convened on American soil, "and," he continued, "it represents the party that dares to do right because it is right, to condemn wrong because it is wrong. It stands for peace, prosperity and happiness 10 every home and death to every salmon in the land. It demands for woman equal pay in shop and equal say at the polls, free ballot for white, men in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Iowa, as well as for black men in Missis-sippi, Louisiana and South Carolina; that in the north, south, east and west the black aud the white, the rich and the poor and every human being shall have protection of life and prop-erty; that the expenses of goveernment shall be levied on wealth, instead of the ne-cessities of ihe people.

Grant vs. ths Columbia Building & Loan association, iu which the plaintiff sued to recover about -- 75, came up for trial before Judge Lochrie, the plaintiff being represented by Mr. Straup and the defendant by Attorney East-man. The defense made a demand for a jury trial, and the court was willing to allow it, but insisted that the costs must bo put up. The defense declined tosecure them and Mr. Straup, of course, declined to assume any responsibility, for the pay of the jurors. Judge Lochrie therefor refused to grant a ju.iy taial, and also overruled a motion for a change of venue, saying that he did not propose lo be trifled with. The plaintiff then put in testimony and judgment was. given for him. This afternoon Attorney Eastman, in be-half of the defense, filed a petition in the Third district court for a mandamus to compel Judge Lochrie to grant a jury trial. The matter will doubtless come up beforo Judge Zane on this in a short time. Probate Court. The matter of the estate of Frank Cracker was continued to July 5th.

DANCE OF DEATH. RUSSIA KAVAOKO BY CHOLERA -- HUNDREDS OF VICTIMS. Famine-Stricke- n Provinces in tbe Throes of the Senurfje Panic -- Stricken Peo-ple Fleeing for Their Lives. St. PRTERSin isa, June 29. The doctors sent out by the government have arrived at Baku to aid in combatting with the ravages of cholera. The Russian flotilla in the Cas-pian sea has been ordered to watch all ships leaving Persian ports. The quarantine sta-tions in the trans-Caspia- n territory have been increased in number, and a week has been added to the time of quarantine. Im-ports and food are subjected to strict med-ical examination. Everything known to medical science will be done to stamp out the scourge. In Dzisak, Turkestan, 130 have died in four days. The epidemic prevails in a more virulent form at Waahka, in the traus Caspian terri-tory. Brandy, sugar and tea are daily distributed to the troops. The fears that the disease wouid invade European Russia have been realized and already several hundred cases are reported this side of the frontier. The inhabitants and troops in towns along the frontier are panic stricken. The wealthier classes are I seeking safety in flight. It reported that cholera has appeared at j Tsaritzau on the Volga. If this be true the scourge is almost certain to ravage the famine-stricke- n provinces. Officers have been dispatched to Tsaritzin and TitMis with full authority to adopt all measures to ar- - j rest the spread of cholera through railway traffic. The scourge is abating at Meeshed, and official reports say there were M74 deaths out of 513 who were attacked during the month of June over the wide area. This is not alarming, especially inview of the rate of mortality. , TRY 1X43 HOfcO THE SCOUTOU IN CHECK. m Vie.vxa, June 39. (iermany and Austria are acting in concert to prevent the entrance of cholera. Professor Drasch, of the Vienna sanitary board, who has been studying cholera for thirty years, thinks it is improb-able that the disease will spread beyond Russia, even if it gets a foothold there. . a- A LADY ATTORNEY.

The great fistic event now attracting in-terest is the Joe Ooddard and Joe McAuliffu match for 5,000, which is to lie decided in the California Athletic club tomorrow night. Goddard is the champion of Australia aud has gained groat prestige in the prize ring. He is over six feet iu height and weighs in i the neighborhood of 2O0 pounds. McAuliffe is also six feet aud will light at about I pounds. It will be a fight between two giauts, aud in t lie opinion of sporting men a short j aud desperate battle. Goddard has been, ever since the California club ratified the match, a heavy favorite at 100 to 80, but st jck has gone up several points, probably owing more to his popularity than his fistic ability. While Goddard's record shows some good performances, he has not whipped his opponents in a quick and creditable manner. It is true he defeated Joe Choynski twice and conquered Mickey Dooley, Owen Sullivan and others, but bis principal performance was his draw with Peter Jackson, which sent his stock up, for in that encounter he should have been declared the winner. McAuliffe is no doubt greatly improved since he was beaten in five minutes by Frank P. Slavin and failed to defeat Jim Daly and he may be able to win, but it looks as if he only had an outside chance, for Goddard is a hard hitter and aggressive fighter. Should Goddard de feat Me Ull fflfmr trm ch arte h gc Peter Jack-son and the California ciub will put up a big purse for such a contest. McAuliffe has trained carefully on his own system and he says if Goddard defeats him he will have no excuse, to make. The men are to fight with four-ounc- e gloves and Hiram Cook, the pres-ident of the club, will either act as referee or select one. The Kennel Club. The Kennel club held a well attended meeting in the Dooly building last night and adopted the constitution and It was also decided to join the national or-ganization. Sporting Splinters. The three-mil- e record of Huntress, 7:31 1, has stood unbroken since 1872. The Denver and Salt Lake nines play at the State street grounds on Sunday. The final coursing tournament of the series comes off at Calder's on Sunday after-noon. The ten round contest between Richards and Thompson comes off at Turner hall on Saturday night. Sullivan and Corbett witnessed the Dixon-Johnso- n fight at the Coney Island Athletic club on Monday night. George Slosson, the billiardist, sailed for Paris last week. He will play Champion Ives, Shaffer, Carter, Cotter, Vignaux, Gar-nie- r, Plot, Fonrniel and Gibellcr. No les distinguished a personage than the emperor of (iermany witnessed the Euro-pean bicycle championship contests at Ber-lin, and he was very enthusiastic when the American racingman, .imuiermau, won the half-mil- e event and broke the world's rec-ord. A Chicago paper, in a terrific, roast on the Chicago team, says the club is made up of individually good players save its one weak spot fin first base, but is trancy at times be-cause the salary question still enters into the game to a marked degree.

THE OLD FOLKS' DAY. The old folks' excursion was a grand suc-cess. When engine No. (53 pulled oat of the Rio Grande yard this morning it was hand-,ojneI- y decorated with (4Mnt',t!'nirHnr, and on the sides were banners bearing the inscription "The Old Folks' Day." There were 1070 veterans on board, and they filled sixteen cars. Several young ladies were also on board, and they were kept busy serving the old folks with cake and lemon-ade. Governor Thomas was the honored guest of the day, and he shook hands with every one. Provo was reached at 10:45, and the party was augmented by 150 more ex-cursionists. On arriving at Payson the visitors were met by a brass band of six-teen pieces, and the party formed inline and walked up town, over the main street of which a handsome arch was constructed. After spending a few hours in talking over old times the excursionists en joyed a fine lunch and speech making, ringing, etc. was then in order.

Searles is a California pioneer. He has been gold hunter', bear hunter aud general prospector, but is now superintend-ent and principal owner of the San Bernard-ino Borax Mining company's property, for in 1M!4 he discovered and at a later day se-cured title to good borax territory. He is fairly prosperous and enjoys life despite the fact that half or more of his lower jaw is con-spicuous by its absence ; and thereby hangs a tale. In a bottle in his oflice are twenty-on- e fragments of bone and teetti, tin- mist-ing sections of his jaw. A griz.ly bear "ex-tracted" them iu 1"70. Mr. Searles hail had extraordinary luck on a hunt, had killed four grizzlies and was alone in a thicket when a fresh and a very big grizzly started up within two feet of him, He tired at oui and only wounded it slightly. He got aa-oth-cartridge iuto his Spencer rifle, but i was one of a larger kind which lie had w hittled down, and it did not explode. An-other second and he was tlat on his back and the grizzly on him. The first bite took off his lower jaw. T' e next was in the throat, nearly severing the windpipe and laying bare the arti ry as well as the jugular vein, and then it grabbed the fle.--h of the shoulder, laying bare the bones and cutting a blood vessel, from which the blood spurted up so that Searles, lying there, saw it stream in a curve above his face. As the bear pulled thi mouthful of flesh clear of the bones its foot slipped and Searles rolled over. His coat was all in a hump on his back, aud the bear bit iuto that once and then went away. "What does a man think when a bear is tearing him to pieces" was asked, as Mr Searles paused in hia narrative. "Twent- - years in California to be killed at last by a grizzly, is what I thought. I re-member lying there and thinking so very weil. I was disgusted," he replied He mauaged to crawl upon his horse and ride to a camp and in torse riays was. in the hospital at Los An-geles. The doctors proposed to bore uirongh the sound upper teeth so as to wire the remnants of the lower jaw together, when, according to his statement. Mr. Searles got so angi y he kicked one of them across the room. They patched and pieced, sewed and plastered and saved a part cf his jaw, and in three weeks the old hunter was able to go around a recovery that aa. tonished the surgeons. He has grow n a full beard and the deformity is not very noticea-ble. Such is the tenacity of life shown by men who start with good constitutions and live in the open air and "glorious climate of California." A STRINC OF NEW STORIES- - Kach Worth Reading and Some Worth Ke member I ng. It is the fashion now to speak of "opti-mists" and "pessimists." The distinction itself, says Ynthi Companion, is nothing new, as there have always been two classes of people those who look on the bright side of things, and those who iook on the dark side but the words have no doubt puzzled some readers. One man, a learned farmer, we may sup-pose, defines an optomist as a person who believes that all eggs will hatch. An ex-change reports a dialogue overheard in a barber's shop: "Do you ever study the faces of the cus-tomers here ?" said one man. "Yes." "Well, did you ever try to distinguish the pessimistic from the optimistic V" "Yes; and there is little difficulty- - in do-ing it." "Indeed!" "Yes; the pessimist is the man who is waiting for six other customers to be shaved, and the optimist is the one distin-guished by the appellation of 'next.' " "Ba Ba Ba Ba." In the Chinese language the same word may be given several different meanings by the modulation of the voice. The same thing may happen to the English "yes," which may be pronounced so as to mean "I assent to that," or "I am doubtful," or "Indeed!" Professor Max Muller, in his "Lectures on the Science of Language," gives an amusing illustration of these med-iations in the Anuamitic language, a mon-osyllabic tongue spoken by the people of Tonquin and Cochin China. In this language the syllable "ba"' pro-nounced with a grave accent, means a lady, an ancestor. Pronounced with the sharp accent, it means the favorite of a prince. Pronounced with the semi-grav- e accent, it means what has been thrown away. Pro-nounced with the grave circumflex, it means what is left of a fruit after the juice has been squeezed out. Pronounced with j no accent, it means three. Pronounced witli the ascending interrogation accent, it means a box on the ear. "Thus "Ba ba ba ba" is said to mean, if properly pronounced, "Three ladies gave a box on the ear to the favorite of the prince." Long Word. Mr. Whymper, in a paper upon Greenland in an old number of the Aljint fom nuf, char-acterizes the Eskimo language as "senten-tious". A single word, he says, is made to convey an idea which in English would require a full sentence. Of such words he offers one example a word meaning, "You must try to get a good knife.', Here it is: Savecenearreatorresooaratlaromaronatet- - ok. Mr, Whymper does not Indicate how this precious polysyllable is to be pronounced, and wt must leave our readers to exercise their own discretion. . m . a NATURE'S BAD BREATH, A PROPOSITION S1BMITTED TO THE GAS COMPANY TO UTILIZE IT. Eastern Capital Wants to Pipe the Gas Into the City The Proposition a Good One. The gas company held a meeting last night to consider a proposition submitted by an eastern party to pipe the gas from the wells into this city. The proposition is the best one yet submitted, and will probably be accepted. The bonds have not yet been is-sued, but when they are, lhere is no doubt but that they will be taken up with alacrity. A Times reporter had a little talk this morning with J. F. Woodman on natural gas matters. Mr. Woodman stated that few people had any idea of the amount that could be saved in the cost of fuel in this city by the use of natural gas, and gave the reporter a few figures. The Salt Lake Railroad company uses annually 5,S40 tons of coal, the Lnion Pacific hotel 300, Margetts Brewery 300, Salt Lake Brewing company, --'400; '.. C. M. I. shoe and leather department, 350. The Davis-How- e company spends $500, Utah univer-sity $700, Salt Lake Mill and Elevator com-pany $1440, Dcseret Woolen mills $2480, Templeton hotel $3000, Knutsford $5"20O. These are only a trw of the firms consuming large quantities ? coal perhaps 25 per eent. But with coal averagiug $3 per ton, the total amounts to $53,000 annually, which, if gas were substituted, would be reduced at least two-third-say And if it is a fair esti mate to say that the various industries and business concerns in this city use, $200,000 worth of coal per year, the saving by the use of gas would be over $140,000. Mr. Woodman says that the business men here, however, are waking up to the impor-tance of the matter, and it is probable that for once they will have sense enough to keep a good thing at home, and not let out-siders get the first whack at it, as is gener-ally the case. r IT DIDNT WORK. Convict Ward's Clever Plan for Escaping from the Penitentiary. Thomas Ward, one of the toughest con-victs in the penitentiary, tried to escape this morning but the plan was nipped in the bud. It seems that two of his fellow con-victs put him in the ash box and carted him outside of the walls and dumped him out. Ward took to the brush and then took a look about him, but the most conspicious object in the landscape was the bright bar-rel of a rifle iu the hands of oue of the guards. Ward took a look down the barrel, came to the conclusion that it was loaded and gave up. He was sentenced in the Third district court on October 2, 1SDL for house-breaking. TELECRAPHIG SUMMARY.

The Parnellite executive committee of Great Britain, while regretting Gladstone's reticence, issued a formal address to Irish electors to support the Gladstonian candi-dates on the ground that Gladstone will then have no excuse to withhold the details of his home rule scheme. It is stated that the executive committee of Parncllites in Dub-lin will issue o similar address.

Sing Sing has five lawyers among its ten-ants. They were all sent there recently, aud their connections with the outside world have not been broken off so completely as iiu the case of convicts who have served many years of a long term. One of these lawyer lias not only not cut off his connection with, the outside world, but he pends his spare ime in the prison in reading more law and n working at law papers. He does not gel fees for the services in money, but it is a. pleasure for him to work at his profession) rather than to sit around and think idly uur-in-the moments when he is not doing tin tasks imposed upon him by the prison out cials. The New York Sun thinks highly ol the reputation for ability aud shrewdnesl that this lawyer has that not only has ho prepared his own case on appeal and pre. pared the cases of other prisoners, but law. yers in New York who know him from time to time ask him to get up hills of exceptions in cases on appeal for them. This interesting convict is Abraham Suy-da- He h serving a five-yea- r sentence for graud larceny on July 12, 18S0. Hia experience shows some of the defects of the criminal laws of the state, though, as he said, it is not so much the depriving him of his liberty as that it grieves him as a law. yer to see anyone committed to Siug Sing with such a disregard of the niceties of the criminal law as was shown in his case. Although he was cotivleted in November, 188S, he was not sent to Sing Sing until May 19, 1801. The interval he spent in the Tombs and did a fairly large law business there, advising other prisoners and con-sulting about their cases. In Sing Sing he is looked on as a great authority on crimi-nal law, and he is prcpariug a brief for James E. Bedell, anolher lawyer, who is serving a sentence of twenty-fiv- e years for forgery, and is crushed by it, while Suydam is bright, chipper and intellectually active. Both he and Bedell are at woak on the books of the prison, the highest class of employ-ment there. They are well liked by the officials, as they cause no trouble. FOSTER SUCCEEDS BLAINE.
